With a week to go before people dress up like leprechauns and flood the streets of Hoboken, Lepre-Con organizers said the time has changed to 11 a.m. in conjunction with city decree. Organizers say due to many bars in Hoboken making the choice to open at 11 a.m., they decided to move the start event back two hours from the original 9 a.m. start.
